Breakages & The Unprepared - Outback Australian Workshop at Mt Dare
Expect the unexpected in the desert. We revisit our second home at the Mt Dare Hotel. This time, we helped out the workshop for 2 weeks during the busy Finke Desert Race of 2024.
Did we fix your car and try to get you out of trouble? There were many more recoveries and broken vehicles that did not come through the workshop!
We experienced rainfall, closed roads, the first State of Origin game (just) and muddy broken cars.
The Mt Dare Hotel is in Outback South Australia on the western edge of the Simpson Desert. Experience it for yourself. Dare to Prepare.

From here, it's a point of no return, with committing drives, deep bog holes along the plateau and sharp rocky very steep terrain. On maps, this track is called the 'Barkley River Jeep Track,' which is incorrect. The track p...

    Thanks for a good honest review of the not so fun times traveling, i laughed so much and i almost cried laughing at the diesel heater, not due to your miss fortunes but i can relate so much to almost all them experiences, and you are 100% right at the time things feel like they cant get any worse! But as time passes you look back and laugh, 6 years on from our trip(wife 3 kids and i) something will trigger our memory and we will make a little one liner joke that takes us back! 😂😂

    If you dip the oil on my 1HDFTE after it has been going it will be off the stick. Check it tomorrow before you start it, it is perfect. It doesn’t use oil, never has in its 300,000 km, 10 litres comes out of it every time. The bloke who broke his chassis found out the hard way that airbags are not designed to overcome overloading. The springs were probably perfect because they had no weight on them. I would never blow an air filter out, you are very likely to blow a hole in it. A diesel will start to run hot when the filter is getting clogged. Good show, you got a lot of people out of trouble in a very remote location. Jeff.

    Most common thing I noticed in this video... Only much newer vehicles all breaking. Not seeing strong 1980-1990 4x4s there. Cars arent built like they used to be. Cruisers in Australia are massively overpriced, I work in a mine and they buy them for $36,000 from Dubai. Literal only difference is left hand drive. So Aussies overpay close to $60,000 on cruisers

    Back in about 1984, my family were bringing two campers down from the Alice. Can't remember what happened, but we broke down at Mt Dare! Stuck there for a few hours while they fixed the issue. Glad to see the place is still going. Essential service.

    The snapped chassis was a common failure in the highlands of PNG. This was in the old very rigid leaf spring days. They would snap just behind the cab. Over loading a principle fault but also using high tensile steel for chassis. Would stress harden and snap. We plated a lot.

    Oil filler for those tight areas, make a hooker? Need an air gun, Plastic bottle, 2 x hoses (make sure they can fit oil filler point. Connect air gun to one hose, fill bottle with oil, place both hoses into bottle, air gun hose out and above oil, other hose into oil, this end fills the gear box (or whatever) …. Seal up the bottle and hoses really really good. Put fill hose into oil point, slowly press air gun and fill up gear box or whatever. I made one to do my gear box after swapping out my pressure plate, works great, the better the seal on the bottle, the quicker you can fill!
